But don't take our word for it.

Here’s what some of our Insiders have to say.

DavidB

Fills the gaps in a way Apple's own information can't

“Apple has awesome products but poor avenues for communicating what they can do for the non techie crowd. Insider fills that gap, giving me valuable information about upcoming releases.”

- David B., West Chester, PA

AmyH

Answered questions I often wondered about

“I wanted to take advantage of things on my phone I didn’t know I didn’t know. But… Did I want one more email in my inbox every day? The answer is YES! Thanks to the daily email, Insider helped me answer questions that I had often wondered about but hadn’t pursued.”

- Amy H., Tucson, AZ

SteveJJ

Revealed things about my iPhone I didn't know

“I joined Insider when I realized there was more to the iPhone than I thought. I wanted to go deeper. At first, I wasn’t sure if getting another email with tips in my inbox would help me… But the Insider emails are so simple, I can go through them and learn something without using a lot of time. You’ve taught me things that the iPhone could do that I did not know about.”

- SteveJ., St. Paul, MN

Who are the people behind Insider?

Hey! We are the iPhone Life team: twenty Apple enthusiasts and tech lovers, here to help you master your iPhone with bite-sized videos, in-depth guides, live courses, and expert help.

We’ve been writing about tech for the past 30 years. And we've been covering Apple—reviewing apps, debating new features, and writing how-tos—ever since Steve Jobs released the first iPhone in ‘07. (Unlike other publications, we only focus on Apple devices.)

And—unlike other publications—we focus on Apple devices. Exclusively.


Join for as little as $6.99 a month (when you pay annually)


Worried you won't have the time to make the most out of your Insider subscription?

With so much information out there, prioritizing what to learn can feel like an impossible task. Sometimes, it feels like the last thing you need is to add more to your plate. 

That’s why we designed Insider to fit busy schedules and different learning styles. The 1-minute videos help you learn something new over your morning coffee. The guides are all split into bite-sized sections so you can watch five minutes at a time. And the courses are there for when you want to enjoy a longer, collaborative experience. 

And you never need to worry about missing out. Everything is recorded and available for as long as you’re a member. This way, you can dip in and out as you need to. Plus, you have some time to try us out because…


Joining Insider is completely risk free.

That's why we're giving you 60 days to experience it for yourself

Listen… We don’t want you to join (or keep) Insider unless it’s really making your life easier and helping you master your iPhone. That’s why we offer a no-questions-asked, 60-day money-back guarantee.

Try Insider for 60 days. Go through the Notes App Guide and learn everything it has to offer. While you're there, sign up for one of our upcoming courses. Or use the Ask feature to ask our experts every single question you’ve ever had about your iPhone, iPad, or Apple watch. Or use the Pro Camera Guide to finally brush up on those rusty photography skills. And if by the end of the 60 days Insider has not helped sharpen your phone skills, send an email to help@iphonelife.com and we’ll refund you.

Don't forget to claim your senior, veteran, teacher, or service professional discount.

“A lot of this sounds good and I really do want to make the most out of my iPhone…

But I’ve still got some questions.”


These are the questions our customers ask us most often.

Got a question we didn’t answer?
Email us at questions@iphonelife.com and we’ll respond with the answer.


1. What's inside the Notes App Guide?
The quick answer? Everything you need to make the most out of Apple's built-in productivity app. The Notes App Guide is broken into three sections: the basics, productivity, and collaboration. You'll learn everything you need to know about setup, scanning documents, sharing notes with friends and family, securely locking notes away, and more. The guide comes with expert videos that walk you through every step.

2. Can I get the guide without Insider?
No. At the moment, our Notes App Guide (and all other guides) are only available to iPhone Life Insiders.

3. Who is Insider for?
Insider is for anyone looking to master their iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or any other Apple device. If you want to make the most out of your device, stay up to date with the latest tech, learn new things, or stop depending on your kids for help when you get stuck, Insider is for you.

4. What if I’m not good with technology? Will Insider help me?
Yes. We've got the basic tutorials and guides you need to get comfortable with your phone and Apple's tech. When you log into your dashboard, you'll be able to search by topic and find all beginner-friendly guides and courses.

5. I’m already pretty knowledgeable when it comes to iPhones and technology. Will Insider teach me something I don’t know?
We hope so! Insider is designed to have something for everyone - including folks who've been using tech since the '60's. We've got plenty of advanced tips and guides. Thanks to the 60-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee you can try it and if you’re too advanced, email help@iphonelife.com and we’ll give you a full refund.

6. I’m already a Tip of the Day subscriber. How is Insider different?
Our Tip of the Day Newsletter is a great start to making the most of your iPhone. But it’s limited to 1-minute solutions. Not everything important can be covered in 60 seconds. If you are ready to go deeper, Insider gives you access to live classes, in-depth video guides, a digital subscription to iPhone Life Magazine, one-on-one help, a premium ad-free podcast, and our archive of over 1,500 premium video tips.

7. How do I receive my Notes App Guide and Insider content?
When you sign up, you’ll get instant access to our new classes and our complete content archive. It’s all inside the custom Insider dashboard. To access it, click the “Log in” button at the top of this page or click the custom link we’ll send you.

8. You said I get access to all online courses. How does that work? And how are these courses different from your other content?
Every quarter, we run a live, virtual course on a big, important topic like the new operating system. These classes last 4 weeks. We meet on Zoom 1-2 times a week for instruction and discussion. Classes are completely free for Insiders. You can attend as many as you like. And we record all our classes so if you miss any sessions, you can watch them in your own time.

9. I’ve never used online guides or classes. What do I do if I get stuck?
We’ve designed Insider for beginners, experts, and everyone in between. If you get stuck—or if something doesn’t make sense—just email our instructors at help@iphonelife.com and we’ll help you get unstuck.

10. I don’t have much time to invest in learning to use my device. Is Insider still for me?
Yes! We designed our content so you can learn in small increments. Our video tips teach you something new every day in just one minute. Our video guides are split into 5- to 15-minute lessons so you can watch at your own pace. We record all our courses so if you sign up and miss one of the live sessions, you can watch the recording in your own time. Everything is designed around you and the way you learn best.

11. What makes Insider better than the free content I can find through YouTube or Google?
It's both deeper and broader than what you can find online. Plus, it's been written adn vetted by top Apple experts.

12. Do you offer a discount?
We’re proud to offer a 10% discount to seniors, veterans, service personnel, teachers, and health professionals. Just check the “Claim Senior/Service Personnel” box on the checkout page and we’ll deduct 10% off your total.
